Do not Make Your Website / Blog stuffy

Blogs have now become one to communicate and exchange ideas most effectively, and also one of the tools of the most effective online business. God knows how many online businesses are using blogs as a powerful weapon to start and grow their business.

But did you know that a lot of blogs that do not produce the optimal profit because of the design. And one reason is because too many widgets you can add to your blog.

Yes, the widget, it's one of the causes of the problem! Of course you know what that widget, right?

If you do not know, widgets are complementary accessories blog. Starting from the clock (the clock), animated funny, affiliate banners and many others.

Well ... this is what widgets are often the thing which is fatal to the online business that relies on his blog to do business online. Why? Because, some of these online businesses, too many to install widgets that really is not that important in their blog.

Make the Widget On Your Blog Specific

If you really intend to create a blog for business purposes, make your blog is look for such purpose. Do not add animation funny there, do not add pictures of scenery that is not obvious, just install widgets and plugins that are useful for business.

Example is the plugin / widget for your RSS subscription, to subscribe on your blog releases, to contact you, and others. After all, you put funny pictures that were of no use, even sometimes even these people think a business blog or personal blog :-)

There is another example of online businesses that install widgets in the form of an animated clock on his blog / website. My question: what good is an animated widget that hour? After all, if visitors want to know when they lived to see to the right under their laptop (usually at the laptop was there).

Yes, is not it?

Installing widgets that do not have to be detrimental to your business. Besides making your blog look stuffy, also will make the visitors do not focus on the content of your blog, and on what you sell. Be careful.

Speed: Visitors

Besides making your blog look stuffy, install various widgets on your blog also create a blog to slow accessed by a visitor. Why? Because the server has to process more data, comparable to the total number of plugin / widget that you installed. This is very burdensome to the server, especially for those who use the wordpress blog engine hosted on the server itself.

In addition because the server must process the extra hard to show the plugins and widgets you, the size of a page that is loaded becomes even greater. The effect was what? Obviously your site's pages will be slower to open.

Ultimately effect? Yes, visitors will be reluctant to open your blog. Can you say that it means you are losing potential income from your business blog.

ONLY Ads That Make Money

Many people install various advertisements on their blog to make money. Whether it's affiliate advertising a product / service, or ad type PPC (pay per click) / CPM. But you know, that sometimes ads just make your income decreased?

As I mentioned earlier, that loads the unnecessary stuff will make the page size to be large and slow loading a page, and make the visitor become blurred. This also applies to ads that do not make money, we can consider this ad also includes things that do not need to be displayed.

You can easily identify them by looking at your own wallet. Notice which ads are not making money with a significant, and remove from your blog. Better to maintain a little advertising to make money rather than maintaining a lot of ads but make you lose a lot of visitors. Your losses will be even greater.

Do not put things (widgets) that do not make money on your blog. Put only the things that make money, not otherwise.

Finally, Set Back Your Widget Placement

As a final step, if you feel that you do need the widget / plugin, set the best possible placement. Do not widgets a very eye-catching close to each other, or adjacent to your blog post. This will make your blog feel cramped, and ... and I plus many visitors become lazy reading.

And that means (again), you lose the potential to make money.

So, fix the look of your blog now!
